I mentioned this in another post already, but I'm curious if the solution might not be simpler, and if there's a way we could mod a Sixaxis to act like the Jailbreak upon USB connection with the system.

Possibly having a simple, solderable mod chip package added directly to a Sixaxis.

Technically not impossible indeed but might not be really worth the effort apart of the initial wow effect - you'd most probably need to add an USB hub inisde the controller as well making all more complicated and heavy plus all the hassle with taking the controller apart and possibility of damaging it by soldering unless some kind of clipp on only solution would be provided.

Hello,

Sorry, but i don't get it. What's the point? In what modifying a sixaxis would be simpler? From what we know now, its no big deal soldering a jailbreak dongle: 1 MCU and a couple of resistors/capacitors. Few pins used on the MCU. No really, it's no big deal. The hardware part seems by far the simplest. What is needed is the program (dumping the mcu eeprom if possible).

I agree with NoisilySilent there's no point modifying the controller as it could damage the controller and could be doing some heavy soldering to the current board when instead you create a simple jailbreak dongle which would be much simpler.

But i do see why you think it would be better to do so because when Sony block off the dongles ids in their next firmware update but they can't block off the six axis controller even though its modified.

So if they re gonna release a PC driver for it, there shouldn't be a problem to read whats in it after.

Should be doable indeed...
